Carlos Fuentes

The Carlos Fuentes essay used alot of personal stories and his own point of view to express his thoughts about the Latin american culture, language, and the influence of Latin American writers. He showed his readers what he thought about Mexico and how he wasn't raised in its culture, but knew about it only through movies and books; his imagination. But it wasn't until he lived there that he finally got an understanding of what it culture was all about. Through his persona he concludes that the emersion of several cultures, languages and traditions helped him become a writer because without this emersion traditoins would never be formed; therefore a culture could never exist.
